an: It’s obvious why Kenner decided to turn Walrus Man into an action figure. Nobody just picks a fight with Luke Skywalker. When designing this figure, Kenner surely took a lot of freedom, since his suit doesn’t look like anything the Aqualish smuggler wears in the cantina. Walrus Man has a sleeveless orange vest with blue sleeves, blue pants, and black flippers as feet. In the movie, the character wears an orange vest, a light bright shirt, dark brown pants, and brown boots. The only thing their outfits have in common is the color orange. His head looks a lot more like the character from the movie. Why did Kenner goof up with Walrus Man? It’s one of the characters from the UK shoot that has been documented very poorly since there are but a few full shots of him in color. Kenner heavily modified the picture they were given for his action figure card. They masked out the other characters and the environment to get a picture of very questionable quality of Walrus Man. Funny thing is that Kenner did know what Walrus Man was wearing in the movie, since the prototype of the figure had an orange vest and brown pants. However, the flippers are still quite a puzzle — and may have been added to give the figure a more alien-looking physiology. The colorful outfit might have been chosen to make the figure more aesthetically attractive to kids and their parents.
Fun facts: Walrus Man, who was armed with the Imperial blaster, appeared on Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi cards.
